Configuring User Group ID Generation

Configuring ID Generation for a User Group ensures that the ID generation pattern is applied every time you create a User Group.

Configuring User Group ID Generation involves two steps:

1. Add Identification: This step involves configuring basic details of the User Group ID like name, description, and so on.
2. Setup ID Generator: This step involves setting the pattern that the User Group IDs should follow.

To create an ID Generation Configuration for a User Group, follow this procedure:

Note:

Select a Config ID before performing the following procedure.

1. From Application Navigation, select Configuration, and then select ID Generator, and then select User Group.
2. Select Add.
3. In the Add Identification page, enter the following attributes:
   1. Name: Enter the name of the user group.
   2. Long Name: Enter the full name of the user group.
   3. Description: (Optional) Enter a meaningful description of the user group.
4. Select Continue. This opens the Setup ID Generator page.
5. In the Attributes section, select Add to add a new Generation Type for the user group identifier. The Generation Type decides whether the identifier has to be generated automatically or manually.
   1. Select either Auto or Manual in Generation Type.
   2. (Optional) Select the maximum length for the User Group ID from the list in Max Length / Value. All values from 1 to 16 are available for selection. This field appears only when you select Manual in the previous step.
   3. (Optional) Select the delimiter to be used in the User Group ID from the list available in Delimiter Type.
   4. Select Done. This takes you back to the Setup ID Generator page.
6. Under the Components section, select Add to start adding components for the User Group ID.

   Note:

   A User Group ID would require more than one component.
7. From the Choose Component Type options, select a value and then select Done. The possible options for component types are:
   • Static: Enter Static Name / Value and select Done.
   • Sequence: Turn Padding Ind ON or OFF. Enter the number with which the sequence starts in Starts With and how it is incremented in Incremented By. Also enter the maximum value of sequence in Max Value and select Done.
   • CheckDigit: Select Mod10 or Mod11 under Algorithm section. Enter appropriate values for Transpose and Weight and select Done.
8. Select Continue. This validates the ID generation pattern that you configured for the User Group and if valid, saves the configuration.

Once you have configured the User Group ID Generation, you need to associate this configuration with a tenant (Non-Production). After the User Group ID Generation configuration is associated with the tenant, you can start creating user groups in the application.
